I am trying to find a way to search for matching keys in two hashes without case sensitivity. See the following code for a quick example:
%hash1 = ("TEXT", 25);
%hash2 = ("text", 25);
foreach $item1 (keys(%hash1)) {
foreach $item2 (keys(%hash2)) {
if (exists $hash1{$item2}) { print "matches\n";}
}
}
This doesn't match since one hash key is lower case "text" and the other is upper case "TEXT". What can I do to compare them without case sensitivity so they end up matching?
Thank you.
